Re: need help. one wire Alternator

It will work either way. When you have the time read the whole article on 1 wire verses 3. If you have a big demand for amps this will explain why. Longhorn Man I shall now join thee in the ranks of the retarded. LOL

LOL! Life is so much simpler when you join the dumb ass side.
I would personally stick with a 3 wire with internal regulator.
I think of a one wire as a band aid fix for some one who doesn't know how to rewire anything.

Re: need help. one wire Alternator

If you do run a one wire make sure you run your big draw items (fans and amps) Right from the battery so the alt reg can read them right.
